It is open day at my eldest sons school today which means
a visit for tea and cake instead of working!!

This is my husbands Father's Day card, I made it with a maya road aeroplane chipboard book, I thought it was appropriate as he was away over Father's day with work. I haven't included all the pictures but you can get the general idea of the book, he was thrilled.
As I speak no 2 son it eating dry crackers in my bed, guess I'll get the hoover out this afternoon, could be worse, he's happy!

I can't believe how long it is since I last posted...busy busy busy.

Actually got out doing the gardening this afternoon, that frightened the worms and wood lice who are normally left to their own devices! (As you could tell by the size of weeds I was pulling)

Made quite a few new mini books and cards so will be adding them on here slow time.
My dad is Harley crazy and so this book seemed appropriate, I used a sizzix die and Harley papers and embellishments.

I have a few things to share with you first of all a wee secret I have been keeping. I recently applied for a job demonstrating for a craft suppliers unfortunately I wasn't successful but I thought I would share with you the samples that I sent.



On a lighter note my youngest is obviously following with the crafty temperament, earlier in the week he put black felt hand prints all up the wall on the stairs and this morning he has drawn on my beige carpet with black and pink crayons, definitely got a flair for modern art!

Another day goes past and more to share.


Another bespoke card and my mums birthday card which as a last minute creation I have to admit I was quite happy with...nothing like blowing your own trumpet and normally I wouldn't.
I think I will be using beer coasters again after this.

Where has the time gone just lately. I have had family visiting so not much time to play. I do have some things to show but not just yet because I don't want the folk I've made them for to see them on here before receiving them. Where would be the surprise in that.


I do however have a couple of bespoke cards to share to keep that mojo flowing!

Today I have mostly been making electric guitars with a sizzlits die. I keep getting asked for cards with them on for all you rockers out there so here goes:

I've done some scrapping......!!!!

I've entered Pam's scrapping outside your box challenge for this month which is to use fimo.

Pam is one of my good pals who works for Carolinez Craftz as part of her design team.

Here is a wee look at my entry, I've kept it quite simple but scalloped the edges which seems to be a trend at the moment, so glad I didn't get rid of those old scissors!
Thanks for the challenge Pam I enjoyed playing. Pity you can't see the detail on the fimo and the stamping but you can get the general idea.

Well haven't had much time to scrap this week either, family coming and housework to do. Also had quite a few bespoke orders this week so have cracked on with them. Weddings and special birthdays mainly, and haven't take photographs for you all!
Got a couple of scrapbooking things in progress for gifts but not posting on here till I've given them, so not to spoil the surprise.
Congratulations to one of the UKS girls who has had a baby girl this month, we've all been waiting with anticipation of the news. Glad to hear everything went well Janine.

Hopefully I might have some time later.

Another day and I have got around to putting the last challenge from the Elgin crop onto here. The challenge was "When I grow up I want to be..." and had to include pictures from your childhood. I had a real giggle at the old photographs when I eventually found them in the loft. This is what I came up with........................................................


I have used a star as "When I grow up I want to be a DANCER", I thought it was applicable.




I want also recently asked for a simple thinking of you card for a man. I thought the doodlebug new paisley black and white papers would work a treat.

Another day, managed to get new stock of pin cards finished and some new snappy smalls so a productive weekend. A few children around to play with mine and it is amazing what you can get done!

It's me again.
Well, today at Papercrafts in Elgin we have a Do Crafts demonstrator.
I've been in this morning and the shop is really busy, which is great. Unfortuately for me I had a wee man with me who only lasted an hour.
Good luck for the rest of the day Karen, you'll be pooped tonight!

Whoops missed out on lunch today as didn't get Pam's message in time, sorry Pam.

Our big news today is that the new FUNKY KITS website went live and it look fab. Karen and Tracy have been working very hard on putting new scrapbooking and jewellery kits together and I think they've both done a great job.

I've had a couple of bespoke cards to do today and managed to finish some stock, hoping to get some more done this evening.

Well I've managed to get the slide working although I haven't all the work I wanted in it but learnt a lot over the last couple of days with regard to the 'puter!

On the home front my little angel swung on my new curtains this morning and the pole is now officially hanging too. Argh don't you just love kids.

I'm away to do something creative.
